On our recent cruise it was Donatello deck 6 (atrium).

In the past it was in Canaletto Deck 6 aft.

Check the Patter or just head there. Noon-1:30pm.

Interesting! On the Grand class ships the only time we have had embarkation lunch in the aft DR was the International DR on the Sapphire and Diamond. On other Grand class ships it has always been the midship Fiesta deck 6 MDR.

We are on this RT cruise to Alaska as well.

Our documents state that boarding will commence at 1pm, so presumably the dining room won't be open before then?

Above is an attempt to get passengers to evenly spread out arrival and check-in. It is a suggestion only.

 

Normally embarkation will start between 11 and noon. True, the new procedures may result in your cabin not being available until 1 PM, but that does not delay the boarding process. The embarkation dining room should be open for entry from Noon until 1:30 for lunch.

It's our first time in the States, we've purchase the aforementioned Princess Cruise Hotel and transfer to save our sanity, and will therefore be at the mercy of the coach transfer from the hotel as to when we arrive at the ship.

Thanks everyone for your replies.

It normally is not a huge amount to take a taxi to the ship if you want to go prior to taking the coach transfer. Probably under $20 USD which is about 17 Euro.
